IYENGAR YOGA
Iyengar Yoga is the world's most widely practiced method of yoga The Iyengar method is a lineage taught in the tradition of Yogacharya B.K.S. Iyengar, a true yoga master with over 75 years of intense practice and teaching His method of yoga is accessible to all individuals as it is methodical and progressive Special emphasis is given to develop strength, endurance, balance and correct body alignment Poses are done safely and with alignment which develops profound self-awareness Students in the Iyengar method can progress from beginner to more advanced postures as they gain flexibility, strength and sensitivity in mind and body BKS Iyengar's teachings are deeply rooted in the yoga sutras of Patanjali who wrote the 2500 year old summation of the practice of yoga Iyengar yoga follows the path of Ashtanga or "eight limbs" Iyengar's teachings help to evolve precision in the postures (asanas) and breath awareness (pranayama) with a firm philosophical base As students practice each asana, the mind becomes focused on the actions of the posture and the movements of the breath leading them to deeper exploration of the more internalized limbs of yoga, including concentration (dharana), meditation (dhyana) and ultimately samadhi (self-absorption) BKS Iyengar shares his study of yoga as an art, science and philosophy He has revolutionized the art of yoga by introducing and incorporating the use of supports call "props"to facilitate learning and accommodate safe appropriate progress He has refined the science of yoga through his own exploration and attention to proper alignment of body, mind and breath awareness He shares and incorporates his deep understanding of the philosophy of yoga gained from his own intense practice and study of Patanjali's yoga
*“Yoga is the golden key which unlocks* *the door to peace, tranquility, and joy.”* *- BKS Iyengar*
